@andyd Me too. I don’t remember commercial gyms (or rec centres) until my late 20s or early 30s. Prior to that, I think men went to places to do things like boxing or martial arts. I sort of recall ladies going to places to do aerobics and dance classes, but they did these things before adding weights, bands, step ups. Personally, I was too focused with school or work then. These group classes where you pay to join seemed silly to me.
